Read the excerpt from President Franklin Roosevelt's “Day of Infamy” speech delivered after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Which sentence best summarizes the passage?

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island. Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area.

A.
Japan’s strategy was to destroy American defense equipment by launching a surprise attack.
B.
Japan’s deception and successive surprise attacks revealed its aggressive stance in World War II.
C.
American military and naval defense equipment were badly damaged in the attack on Hawaii.
D.
All the surprise attacks by Japan in the Pacific had been carefully planned over a period of time.

Answer 1

Answer:

B). Japan’s deception and successive surprise attacks revealed its aggressive stance in World War II.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from President Roosevelt's 'Day of Infamy' speech better known as Pearl Harbor Address that was delivered on 7th of December 1941, the key idea that is discussed would be 'Japan's deception(reflected by the phrase 'attack was deliberately planned') and successive surprise attacks(exposed Japanese onslaught and wicked character while attacking Philippine, Wake, Midway, Hong Kong, Malaya, etc.) on United States' naval and military forces disclosed its hostile attitude in Second World War.' This led the United States to enter the war officially when president declared that 'all measures be taken for our defense.' Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

A. A right is an entitlement, and a responsibility is an obligation.

The difference between a right and a responsibility is that a right is something you have because of where you live and how it is governed and a responsibility is something you are expected to do. A right is when you are allowed to do certain things because the law allows it. It is your right. This is an entitlement, you are entitled your rights. A responsibility, however, is something you are expected to do because you agreed to or you chose to, this is something like school. You have to attend and you are expected to go, it is an obligation.

What are some similarities between Candy and his dog from Of Mice and Men

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Although both Candy and his dog are rather minor characters in Of Mice and Men, they help guide the story along and set a mood. Both Candy and his dog are quite old, and somewhat physically disabled (Candy is missing a hand, and his dog is almost blind and deaf). However, they both have shown signs of being loyal and loving, and Candy has a hard time letting go when his dog is shot. Hope this helps!

Explanation:

Candy's dog provides his owner with the same kind of friendship and security. Even though the animal cannot respond, as Lennie can to George, it has the same attachment to Candy and gives him the comfort that he at least has something that the other ranch hands lack

Candy always took care of his dog like George takes care of Lennie. He tried to save his dog from being shot like George saved Lennie from drowning

Answers

Answer:

Doesn't wreck the board.

Explanation:

In Rita Williams Garcia's short story About Russell, she narrates how her mentally challenged brother Russell never abandoned his family despite his illness. Focusing on the issue of mental illness and how they can devastate families, Garcia's piece shows that some people like Russell could still be family-oriented despite their condition.

Garcia mentioned how often her brother Russell would either knock down the chessboard if he loses a game with her or even sulks. But one time, when she said "checkmate", he did not react like he usually does. Rather, Garcia wrote "He just grinned, looked down at the board, and said, “Hmm,” the way he did when he found a flaw in one of his discoveries". He also did not knock the board away, but just left it as it is. This surprised her.

O'O light beheld as through refracting tears

because a simile is when you compare two things using the words LIKE or AS. In the O'O light beheld as through refracting tears, it is using the word as and comparing two things so therefore it is a simile. Compare to the others they aren't using LIKE or AS.

Light beheld as through refracting tears phrase is an example of simile.

Read the excerpt from "The Lottery." Because so much of the ritual had been forgotten or discarded, Mr. Summers had been successful in having slips of paper substituted for the chips of wood that had been used for generations. Chips of wood, Mr. Summers had argued, had been all very well when the village was tiny, but now that the population was more than three hundred and likely to keep on growing, it was necessary to use something that would fit more easily into the black box. The night before the lottery, Mr. Summers and Mr. Graves made up the slips of paper and put them in the box, and it was then taken to the safe of Mr. Summers' coal company and locked up until Mr. Summers was ready to take it to the square next morning. The rest of the year, the box was put away, sometimes one place, sometimes another; it had spent one year in Mr. Graves's barn and another year underfoot in the post office, and sometimes it was set on a shelf in the Martin grocery and left there. What important information does the setting in this excerpt communicate about the story? The setting reveals that the village people rarely shop for groceries because there is only one grocery store. The setting proves that the old way of selecting the names from the black box is better. The setting reveals that the village population is small and maintains a country lifestyle. The setting describes why special care is taken to secure the black box and the village family names.

Answers

Answer:

The important information the setting in this excerpt communicates about the story is:

C. The setting reveals that the village population is small and maintains a country lifestyle.

Explanation:

As is revealed in this excerpt, the population of this village is of less than 300 people. It is clearly a small village that still maintains a country lifestyle. It mentions a post office, a grocery store, a barn... - it all sounds provincial. The excerpt shows that the box is only under special care the night before the event. For the rest of the year, it is left pretty much anywhere. The excerpt shows the old way of selecting names is now impractical, since chips of wood wouldn't fit in the box anymore. The excerpt does not gives enough information to conclude that people rarely shop for groceries. Therefore, we can safely choose letter C as our answer: The setting reveals that the village population is small and maintains a country lifestyle.

Compare and contrast how a central idea in Steve Jobs' Stanford commencement address and J.K. Rowling’s Harvard commencement address is introduced and elaborated.Write a comparison and contrast essay which makes and supports a claim about a central idea shared by both speeches and then explains how the central idea is introduced and elaborated in each speech. Be sure to use proper grammar, conventions, spelling, and grade­ appropriate words and phrases. Cite several pieces of textual evidence, including direct quotations and page numbers.

Answers

Answer:

Check answer below

Explanation:

Both speeches delivered by Steve Jobs and J.K. Rowling center on the satisfaction that comes with finding what you love and turning every negative situation such as failure into a stepping stone to greatness.

Steve Jobs, in his commencement address at Stanford, told the audience about how he dropped out from Reeds College which he described as dropping out of the required classes that did not interest him into pursuing what interested him. Similarly, J. K. Rowling described how she jettisoned her parents idea of making her study German due to their naive interest and opt in for classics that really interested her. These two examples center on the fact that students should find what they love and put effort into it. The two examples take different forms of elaboration because as opposed to Steve Jobs who did not complete his college program, J. K. Rowling has a college degree.

Both speakers shared moments in their lives when they encountered failure which were considered the dark moments of their lives. They both turned these dark moments into a stepping stone through their positive attitudes. Steve Jobs narrated how he was pulled out of the company that he founded  and how he during this period of pain and despair founded two other companies and met his loving wife. He said, " I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."

J. K. Rowling similarly went through hard times as a young graduate from college. She suffered marital failure, joblessness, single parenting, etc. but never allowed this to deter her of her ambitions.

Both speakers also talk about attitudes. Steve Jobs said his daily motivation always comes from the question that he asks from himself every morning, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”. J.K. Rowling advised the Harvard community on the need to feel the pains of others and touch their lives. She said, "But how much more are you, Harvard graduates of 2008, likely to touch other people’s lives? Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received, give you unique status, and unique responsibilities. "
